Landing Pages that Work

For letter landing pages, which font and type size is best?

[question]

For letter landing pages, which font and type size is best?  What kind of testing have you guys seen in this area?  Serif?  Sans Serif?

[/question]
[answer]

Arial for fonts above 12, sometimes for 11. Verdana for fonts 11 and under.
On marketing items for OFIE’s, salesletters etc, we will use Arial but sometimes for a short large headlines and for a more elegant look we might use a Serif, something in the Times family, not bold and with some good line spacing.  If the headline is long, we’ll stick with a Sans Serif.

These combinations have proven to be successful for us, but you should certainly test your own pages to see what resonates with your audience.
